Percona is glad to announce the release of Percona XtraBackup 1.9.0 on 9th February 2012. Downloads are available from our download site here. For this BETA release, we will not be making APT and YUM repositories available, just base deb and RPM packages.

This is a BETA quality release and is not inteded for production. If you want a high quality, Generally Available release, you should use the current Stable version - currently 1.6.4 in the 1.6 series at the time of writing.

The 1.9.x version numbers will be used to distinguish between pre-release versions of PerconaXtraBackup 2.0 and the Generally Available final release.

xtrabackup will now raise an error if the transaction log wraps around before all log records are read. Previously it would print a warning and not error out, even though it would have generated an invalid backup. With this bug fix, if the log files wrap around before xtrabackup has read all the log records, xtrabackup will error out. Bug fixed: #805593 (Alexey Kopytov)

MyISAM tables were backed up but not locked up during an incremental backup. Bug fixed: #771981 (Valentine Gostev)

xtrabackup ignored the --defaults-file option. xtrabackup will now fail if --defaults-file is not the first option on the command line. Bug fixed: #798488 (Alexey Kopytov)

xtrabackup_binary was not included in tar archive when streaming, instead it was written to the current directory. This could cause backups with --remote-host to fail. Bugs Fixed: #723318 (Alexey Kopytov) and #787988 (Alexey Kopytov)

This documentation is developed in Launchpad as part of the Percona XtraBackup source code.
